Lifestyle and home remedies
By Mayo Clinic staffYour skin is the largest organ of your body, so protecting it is essential to your overall well-being. Here are a few tips for taking care of your skin:
- Prepare for the sun. At least 30 minutes before you head outdoors — winter or summer — generously apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or greater. You may need to apply sunscreen more often if you are sweating or swimming.
- Watch your skin. If you notice a mole, freckle or bump that is changing in size, shape or color, talk to your doctor.
